The Apple Maps API turns a search term plus a location into structured Apple Maps data in one call. Send a query and a city name (or lat,lng coordinates), pick one of four search modes, and get back local business listings, one rich place detail, curated Apple Maps guides, or the refinement filters Apple offers for that query. Phone, weekly hours, GPS coordinates, multi-source ratings (Apple, Yelp, Foursquare, TripAdvisor), amenities, and price tiers all come back where Apple Maps exposes them.

It is built for market mapping, local lead generation, and agent tool calls. Pull every coffee shop in a metro sorted by rating, build an outbound list with phone and website attached, or let an AI assistant look up a place mid-conversation. Pay per result, no Apple developer account, export to JSON, CSV, or Excel.

What it returns

One row per listing with title, position, place_id, gps_coordinates, rating, reviews, multi-source ratings, address, phone, website, amenities, price_score, open_state, weekly_hours, and timezone. Place mode adds about text and the full photo gallery. Guide mode returns curated collections with publisher and items. Refinement mode returns the toggles, multi-select filters, and sort keys Apple accepts for a query, so you can plan a filtered search before you run it.
